I sincerely apologize for any inconvenience these changes may cause.
Think of this: Changes mean that this addon is being actively developed
and maintained, rather than withering.

I'm not going to bug you by popping up an ad whenever you hit "Download". If you enjoy this addon and want to send a monetary "Thank You", please visit our Pledgie page by clicking on the button, above.

99% of the previous nameplate system has been replaced by Blizzard for Legion.

Rebuilding has been slow, since I'm (apparently) a grown-up, now. ;-)

BUT, progress is indeed being made!

The internal widgets are disabled, which means the Aura timers are not working. I'm rewriting the entire bloody system because we now have a good way to capture that data without all the trickery that was previously required. (Blizzard does love us!)

Again, progress is being made!

Many things are broken, so I expect that many of you might want to check back with Tidy Plates in a week or so.

Happy questing!

---------------------------
6.16.Beta: Quick Notes
---------------------------
This is a MAJOR update to Tidy Plates, and many things have changed.

Here are some of the bigger changes:

* The Hub has been revamped and some rearranging has been done.
* Quick Fix - Quick Setup:
1. Use '/tp' to reselect your Theme (and Profile)
2. Use '/hub' to check your settings...

* Some settings have been pruned; If there was something important that got
removed, let me know...

I sincerely apologize for any inconvenience these changes may cause...

Think of this: Changes mean that this addon is being actively developed and
maintained, rather than withering, as many addons do...

--------------------------------------
6.16.Beta8
--------------------------------------
* Hub: Threat: Highlight Mobs Tanked by Other Tanks: It was a mess. Rewrote and tested with hunter pet, and it's working well in that condition.
- To do: Reimplement Combat Log melee swing detection, and test in 5-man and Raids

--------------------------------------
6.16.Beta5
--------------------------------------
* Lots of things that I didn't write down because I'm busy playing Warlords of Freakin' Draenor woot!
* Fixed some bugs
* Added some new bugs, probably
* Lots of changes to the Hub. Feedback is good. Be polite, please!

* Migrated to new Dropdown Menu and Hub Function system; Your settings will be a bit borked until you go to /hub

Core:
* Core/Panel: !! The Bundled themes no longer create a "Damage" and "Tank" copy !!
* Core/Panel: Introduced a new menu set, called Profiles, which will load the appropriate "Damage", "Tank", or "Healer" Hub profile.
* Core/Panel: When the selected theme is invalid, it'll fall-back to the first available theme.
* Core/Panel: Added a Slash Command alias, "/tp" in addition to "/tidyplates"

Bundled Themes:
* Themes: Neon & Quatre now have CastProtected art. About time!
* Neon: New Elite Icon, which looks more like I'd originally intended. (Replaces the old Star)
* Removed "Blizzard Theme"... Sorry guys... There are core things that I want to get done, and fixing/maintaining
that component is not a priority. It will probably return, but don't hold your breath.

Widgets:
* Widgets/UnitCache: Replaced " (*)" with FOREIGN_SERVER_LABEL, which will fix unit-caching on certain server types.
* Widgets/UnitCache: Now using a Scanning Tooltip, which should prevent conflicts with TipTac and other Tooltip mods
* Widgets/Aura: Combat Log Event Handler now skips units which are group members, relying on the general
Unit event handler for their updates.

Hub/Health Bar View:
* Removed several of the Status Text choices; These will reappear in a more advanced "Custom Text" category (Working on it...)
* NOTE: The CUSTOM/ADVANCED Status Text function hasn't been written, yet; Thus, it doesn't do anything at the moment...

Just reading through it quick, the only thing impossible is your last request; Tidy Plates doesn't manage the creation or position of the nameplates. Every nameplate addon 'merely' snags the Blizzard nameplates, and do our evil things to them. I would totally love it to be different.

The rest of your suggestions are quite possible, if daunting.. lol ;-)

Originally posted by Gnomaholic Like someone else said before me - this addons is something I would cover with butter, gag and drag to bed with me - totally awesome! And the mock-up pictures is the final step to covering everything I want without loosing focus of the mob I'm tanking. Thanks for making this so great.

So, a few things I have to say:

Playing on my rogue I noticed that the combo-points aren't instant and usually display wrong number of combo-points because of this. Would be awesome to have no delay at all and should be doable (?)

Regarding the timer icons, that's just awesome. I really like the right versions since they look kind of unique, I do realize the take some space thos and wonder how it will look tanking multiple mobs.

Anyways, the most important features for me would be knowing time left and knowing when one of my buffs arent on the mob. So, please make it so it tracks the debuffs I can put up even if it's not up. I.e. by highlighting it someway if not applied (red border, tint red/black or size it 150%).

Something else that struck me was checking for simular debuffs, I mean if I can't put up sunder because somone else has a armor debuff up I would love to know this, somehow. Maybe showing that debuff in the same place but highlighting it someway also so I know that it's not me.

Also, please include a scale for the icons, so we can make sure it looks good fitting in different classes debuffs. And I am already guessing that you will only be tracking self debuffs.

If you choose to make the right versions (looks awesome) can you please make a "tidy" addon for tracking self buffs aswell with simular grafix? Would be awesome having them fall down the way you've proposed and then when they are ran out the get 150% bigger or something, covering other icons so you really have to put it up ^^

Managing what things to track would be preferable with an advance option. Any type of list.

Also, is it possible to add some kind of feater where you highlight certain casts? I mean, sorting casts that isn't important and things that will kill me with one blow unless I use a cooldown. I got DBM but yeah, this would be awesome to see cleary in this addons aswell.

Finally a request. Is there a possability to control how far my current targets frame gets relative to the middle? Some bosses who are really tall disapears from the screen and I have to zoom out to oblivion to see them (something I don't always benefit from doing). Like have a "box" in the middle where my current target would never leave. Would be truly awesome.

For practical purposes of stacking debuffs/buffs, yeah top or bottom left.
But they all look smoking cool. I kinda like the bottom right if there's no more than 3-4 debuffs. I'd use that if I was showing only my debuffs but top left if I was showing all debuffs on the target.
